Tim Guan

Tim Guan is a painter based in San Francisco. Working figuratively in oil, Tim is particularly drawn to painting because it forces him to slow down and pay attention. Against the relentless speed and chaos of life on screens, he views this attention as a radical, necessary act to preserve his humanity. His practice focuses on curious observation of contemporary life with the goal of making resonant work that both reflects what it’s like to be alive today and inspires questions and conversations about where we’re headed. Tim studied painting at Studio Escalier in Argenton-Château, France. Medium is his first solo exhibition.
